NEW YORK — Ernie Clement had three early RBIs off faltering Marcus Stroman, and the Toronto Blue Jays overcame Aaron Judge's major league-leading 40th home run to beat the Yankees 8-5 Friday night and stop New York's five-game winning streak.
Judge's two-run, first-inning homer off Kevin Gausman, a 477-footer drive halfway up the left-field bleachers, gave him a big league-best 101 RBIs.
He became just the fourth Yankees player with three or more 40-homer seasons, joining Babe Ruth (11), Lou Gehrig (five) and Mickey Mantle (four). The drive was the third-longest of Judge's career and the second-longest in the major leagues this season behind Jorge Soler's 478-footer for San Francisco at Colorado on July 21.
